Tandem delivers Learning and Development initiatives creatively. We believe that work can, and should, be enjoyable.

Who we are

Born out of a belief that Learning and Development could be so much more exciting and fulfilling than it was, Tandem was created in 2012 whilst sitting on a deserted beach in Java, Indonesia. Our aim was to deliver a sense of adventure and enthusiasm to Learning and Development so that our clients were more invested, more committed and saw more impactful results.

With imagination and enthusiasm, we bring the focus and energy that internal teams don’t always have the capacity for. Our exceptional hands-on practical experience means you’ll be working with people who genuinely understand your challenges. We’re experienced at quickly building a rapport and we deliver our products and facilitation with the utmost care and attention, offering a partnership you will be proud to present to your business. We love what we do and you’ll feel inspired and energised by our approach; going deeper into your personal development journey and having a few laughs along the way.

Testimonials

Heather Meyer

Senior Production Manager,

I did the Leadership Training Programme with Tandem and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Run across 6 days this allowed for a real immersion into the subject matter with each day focussing on a theme that was brought alive with great contextual videos, exercises and detailed information. Being in a small group with co-workers fostered a sense of trust and allowed us to get to know each other in a supportive environment away from the office. More than anything the course was fascinating, covering not only how to be a good leader, but delving into psychology, music, history, philosophy and sociology. Finally, Clive was a tremendous asset to delivering the course, with the right balance of authority, empathy and humour.

The Leadership course was brilliant. Not only was it informative in terms of learning valuable, important new skills, but Tandem was also very supportive on real issues, so I could take techniques into the office. And I often find myself saying, “What would Tandem do?”! Having the opportunity to spend time with other colleagues away from the office was also invaluable, as we have become our own support network. Thank you so much!’

I have had the fantastic opportunity to work with Tandem for the past 6 years on the development of diverse leadership development programs and team-building activities.

It is a true joy to collaborate with Clive, Sara and the Tandem team as they are inspiring, engaging and fun. I am continuously impressed by their professionalism, competency and reliability. The team has a vast knowledge of key leading concepts and unique talent to shape outstanding products with great flexibility to adapt to different cultures and needs. Last but not least, I value their innovative spirit and drive for continuous growth.

During my career at Lipsy, I had the pleasure of working with TANDEM, and I was instantly impressed by their exceptional business and team coaching services. Their ability to engage an audience is truly unparalleled, as theu consistently bring about meaningful change and adds tremendous value to employees’ understanding and delivery within their respective employers.

One aspect that sets them apart is their expertise in creating courses with engaging teaching methods. Their approach ensures that participants not only acquire knowledge but also retain and apply it effectively. The impact of their coaching sessions has been remarkable, and I attribute a significant portion of my personal growth and professional success to the 5-6 sessions I received from TANDEM during my time at Lipsy.

In light of my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Tandem to anyone in search of exceptional business and team coaching services. Their expertise and dedication are unparalleled, making them an invaluable asset for individuals and businesses seeking to thrive and succeed.

A superb programme which really made me think, question and ultimately understand my own personality and behaviours like never before. Tandem then gives you invaluable skills to help you be a better version of yourself. With wonderfully considered, relaxed and joyful approach; I couldn’t recommend the programme or working with Tandem more.

Tandem’s approach to their partnering is authentic, relevant, flexible and solution orientated, and they always want to make sure that the curation of what they provide is aligned with the need. They create awesome learning content that is both thought provoking and action focussed, giving the learner a real sense of understanding and the practical tools to take away. I have related to Tandem for several years and the consistency is fresh, nothing is too much trouble.

Cath Elliston

Head of Campaigns,
Jamie Oliver Group

Tandem were brilliant and really put in effort to tailor it to honing our specific strengths and helping us identify areas for development too. And the wine tasting at the end of course went down very well!! We’re very lucky that the company invests so much in building leadership across the business. This personalised course has given me the insight and confidence to thrive as a leader and take our high-performing team to the next level.

I’m very proud of what we were able to achieve together, in my view it set a new standard for Leadership Development that I don’t believe exists anywhere else. In every project, Tandem demonstrated a genuine interest in participating in our success and to delivering the right solutions and advice. Clive quickly became an extremely well respected and valued trainer within the organisation – by all of our people with whom he supported. His solutions were innovative always delivering quality results.

Our team really enjoyed working with Tandem, it was a fun and inspiring experience for all of us, they dedicated everything he had to ensure the end product was high quality and felt very grounded in our creative culture. I know I speak on behalf of all the modules attendees when I say you had us all totally engaged at all times.
